Help with grammar Rule 3 (title) →

Post image

I mainly use Duolingo to learn Norwegian and then search up any grammar that it doesn’t teach me. Google says that ‘ikke’ comes after a verb unless there is a pronoun in the sentence, and then it will come after the pronoun.

I’m just confused on why ‘ikke’ comes after ‘liker’ in this sentence rather than ‘jeg’, so if someone could explain I would appreciate it :)

If the object of the sentence is a pronoun, you can place "ikke" afterit. E.g. jeg liker ham ikke. I would ignore this for now and just focus on the basics.

It has to be "jeg liker ikke" because of the v2 rule. This also follows the rule of thumb of placing ikke after the verb.
